I'm not suprised. Savages and barbarians the lot of 'em.
That sounds more like something a Bolton would say.

Just to clarify, I don't need pms for orders. One overall orders post in the QT will be fine, factional and individual orders together. I only need pm for orders you may not want your team mates to know about.
Do you want to have letters and similar communicative actions explicitly written?
Letters to NPCs don't need to be fully written down, just the intent of the letter will be fine. I don't need any letters you are sending to other players, and letters that are to be made public should be put in the Game Thread.Quote:

John, could we get, in the game thread, a player - character list, so that we know who we are speaking to or sending ravens?
I'll get it up at the end of this phase, they haven't all decided.Quote:

Direwolve's are the Westero's equivalent of a limited edition sports car that Daddy really didn't want to give you, but you begged/blackmailed him until he did. Guaranteed to make other houses jealous or your money back.:cool:Quote:

OOC: Hmm, I wonder if anyone who actually roleplays will see which one of our proclimations are true or if they will just see both as cookie cutter attempts at political mudslinging, either way the proof on both sides are equally valid (ie verry little). Good luck getting someone to listen now beskie. Muahahahahaha!
Good one!!!
TBH, who proclaims first, has more chance to be seen as honest.
Also, Stannis has better reputation for his word, I believe. And his claim is (presumably) supported by words of men who has no personal interest in claiming it. We have to wait for Stark's words
Honesty isnt an issue it just needs to be trivialized. It was ignored for the most part in the books, this way it shouldn't even be taken seriously by the common folk.
This isn't the books though, events transpire partly due to our own machinations, partly at JHT's whim.Quote:

I'm going to suggest that there should be a rule on amending posts over an hour after they've been posted, much like how we don't allow votes to be edited in mafia. Now that I've pointed out an error in your post, there's nothing to stop you correcting it even though some Houses may have already seen it.
You wouldn't be able to repeatedly amend a letter sent across the kingdom, why should a post be any different?
True, but use of meta information to dictate your actions and reactions without justification is discouraged, including this conversation. I'm not worried, I half expect everyone is probably going to turn on my side because "they're the lannisters and the lannisters are bad guys" anyway So I'm going to have some fun with this.
Edit: The pointing out of errors might help in mafia but not here I think, the intention is getting accross the attitude of my response than the actual claim.
Incidentally, thanks for pointing out my mistake before such a no editing after an hour rule was implemented. Bwahahaha!
I'm not going to implement a strict rule for editing posts in the Game Thread, I know how annoying it can be to reread a post a day later and notice a grammatical error or spelling mistake. I would ask that players do not change the content of a post in that thread. I will overlook Greyblade's editing, I didn't see the original post anyway, but any future editing of posts not to correct obvious errors may result in loaded dice at the end of that turn.
Didn't I say the host loads dice?
:mellow:

In the Book, everyone knows what Stannis says is true. It is a mere fact that the lie suits them. With Magerty marrying Tommen, Tyrell's want some "legitimacy" to the throne for their own ends. Supporting the truth doesn't suit their purpose. It was never a case no one believed it, they all did believe it. It just wasn't a good idea to :flower: the Lannister's over it.
I think it was a really bad try, especially since blonde hair is recessive while bald hair isn't. Also is bald hair not a strict genetic pointer it only makes bald hair probable. But as I don't know how much of this is known in Westeros, we should just let the Gamemaster representing all non-players and the Houses decide what they think about it. But I really like to highly discourage content editing after more than e.g. an hour.
3 hours to deadline.
I would like to have an clarification on the rules of engagement. Does a faction need to declare war in public in the game thread before they can attack someone else? This is quite important information concerning starts of wars.
No. You cannot call up the banners without a declaration, but factional armies can be used for a cowardly pre-emptive strike.Quote:

Picture used by the host doesn't have him bald. Google image search for Stephen Dillane .Quote:

Well in that pic you posted whats left of his hair is black. Or was he bald all his life? ;)Quote:

Having Pycelle send out letters like that would be part of his duties at King's Landing, Greyblades is skirting the boundaries of the rules on NPCs with them though. I was about to post it in the Lannister QT but I guess this will suffice.Quote:

Oh yeah? Let's see the scoundrel RP when he's RIP.
Eh, the picture is fanart, (you should see what they have for tywin, sheesh, his hair is practically luminescant)so it's not much of a source, the appearance part of the wiki says he's bald with a shadow of a beard. As for history, I have no idea.Quote:

I disagree... i have just gone to lenghts to get my orders in in time and this will give other ppl time to react. I am sorry but in all fairness the deadline should be maintained.
It's not like they can see a real-time preview of the writeup in-progress.
I think he means the declaration on the Tully's.
As a compromise, I'll allow late orders, but anything that is a clear reaction to the declaration on the Tully's will be disallowed.
If they don't send a call for help from the North I will be really surprised.:juggle2:Quote:

Seriously though what the heck are you guys thinking? You can't take on the tullys on land let alone the starks.
who said anything about taking anybody on land?
It's sad because they are required by law to kill Theon if the Greyjoy's mess around. It's kinda of funny because I was wondering if Ned would have killed Theon, if he had to.:book:
I heard that it was the Lannisters who pushed the Greyjoys into their rash action.Quote:

Still this doesnt make much sense, I would have made them destroy your fleet not waste themselves on the Tullys.
Oh Ned would do it, it's Robb that might have pause.Quote:

That's more for announcements and such. I am not speaking for my faction while I post here anyway...just more like playfully criticizing.:bounce:Quote:

The picture used is from the TV series, along with everyone elses. So Eddard Stark is Sean Bean, etc.
Sure sure, now could you could be so kind as to put on a hat, the glare is giving me a headache.
Cant wait for the update!
same... XD
Eww what is that smell... like some one dropped their guts in the privy.Quote:

The Baratheon likes to think himself clever. Another instance of reality falling short of expectation. :shame:
Since there seems to be a lot of speculation, I don't think I'll be getting the results out before Monday evening. I'm doing the grunt work tonight, tomorrow I have a few of those Christmas visits to relatives you rarely see, then I'll get on to the actual write ups. So probably Monday I'll be finishing them up to get them out that evening. I'm going to be sending them all out around the same time.
edit: I'm in the UK for those wondering when exactly "Monday evening" is. :smiley:
Take your time. Everybody should understand how much work you have to do here.
I think we can entertain ourselves, take your time.
i understand :P I think you should hire someone to help you!
lannister will pay :P
Not a spoiler, everyone knows Tywin Lannister's poop is gold.Quote:

Well yeah but he didnt even mention gold.
Some one who hasn't read the book wouldn't have got any references, they now only suspect something because of your reaction Greyblades! I was simply saying Tywin Lannister was a little stinky.
Sounds good, I'll forward the details on to you. Like I said the phase is over, but you can get to know each other in the QT!Quote:
